G              Gsus4
I've been long, along way from here

G               Gsus4
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,

G                                C
And drank 'til I was thirsty again

G                 Gsus4
We went searching through thrift store jungles

G                     Gsus4
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo

G                              C
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

                        D
Well, o.k. I made this up

C                            D
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]

N.C               Am
If it makes you happy

C                G    D
It can't be that bad

                  Am
If it makes you happy

C                            G
Then why the hell are you so sad

G  Gsus4   G  Gsus4

You get down, real low down
You listen to coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed,
Scrape the mold off the bread,
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

Chorus  X 2
(ending with:)

   C                         Em
then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

Chorus
